Rubank Elementary Method - Saxophone (Rubank Educational Library) - Sheet Music Saxophone Book for Beginners - Rubank Method Book

Excelente

Great method book. Great service.

I picked this up for my daughter, who is learning to play the saxophone (a teen). After reading some of the reviews, I was a little nervous that it wouldn't be as good as I'd heard, but my worries were unwarranted. The printing is fine, and the construction is just right to learn to play the saxophone. It builds, step-by-step, and offers the needed basis before continuing to the next stage.I'd read that this one was very recommendable and can only agree. As a musician who has taught children several instruments over the years, I can recommend this book to those who are a bit older and want to really learn how to play the instrument with a great basis.

Good but not the best because the lessons fingering you have to go back to find what fingering for note. Sorry but Alfred Weber Alto Sax student I found is better. When you learn note it shows fingering for that note at lesson point. This book doesn't. You have to go back to the front sheet to find what fingering for that note and also look to see what note that is.

This book has so many wonderful exercises, duets, and etudes to help improve your technique, learn scales, rhythm and improve your skills as a player.Each page introduces exercises that challenge you more and more in different areas, such as using a particular scale, learn about rhythm and patterns, etc. The student can tackle each exercise at their own speed slowly increase it as they improve their performance.This is a great series of method book from beginner to advance that every saxophone student should use to learn and improve their playing.

This book is very good at breaking down the entry/beginner parts of learning to read music while playing the alto saxophone. My 10 year old used this to learn how to get thru the basics of playing the alto sax without much fuss.
